Airports are labour-intensive operations and the aviation sector has decent salaries. Transporting millions of passengers to Tenerife and the Costas requires more workers than exclusively being a Broughton. Thousands of high paying job in South Wales is obviously a good thing and will support the poorer valley regions. By all means do both but don't dismiss the passenger side
